Timing Regarding Depressurization of the Water System

To all Patrons:

In addition to the information previously posted, the depressurization of the system is estimated to have occurred between 6 PM and Midnight, Wednesday, January 14, 2021.  Water flowing, even at low pressures, after that time was gravity fed from what was remaining in the various reservoirs and distribution mains.

Again, any water that was, and is still, available after the system depressurization must be boiled for at least one minute before drinking.  To be safe, we advise drinking bottled water, instead, and using any water that is still flowing, if absolutely necessary, for non-drinking purposes such as toilet flushing, laundry, etc.

When full water service is restored, the water initially produced must be boiled by Patrons for at least one minute before drinking, until the District notifies all Patrons that the water system has passed all testing and standards that ensures that our water is safe for drinking.
